Château de La Dubrie

Dubrie Castle

The actual castle dates back to the 16th century. It offers a defensive system (buildings, towers, large keep) made for gunships for musket firing, because of the insecurity linked with the Wars of Religion between the Protestants and Catholics. The old south east tower has been transformed into a chapel. A beautiful dovecot with 1 300 pidgeon holes and a fishpond complete the estate.

Free entry.
